@GarethDennis @Burtles46 @cleave_mark @SteveBreave @PaulCliftonBBC @SW_Help Are you talking about Marples? His company benefitted from the shift from rail to road, and he actually had to flee to Monaco to avoid being prosecuted. The problem was the widespread failure of politicians to see the future. Did any other European country close as many lines?

@JDrvr @SW_Help I have a few unfair advantages in this, I admit:
β°The road runs down a sharp hill. The railway uses a tunnel to avoid this.
π Kilo for kilo, Iβve been found to have roughly the same PTW ratio as an @AlstomUK TMST.
π My bike is basically a two-wheeled version of an MP89CC! π
